Good Humoured Wedding Photographer for Weddings and Elopements in Germany, Ireland and all over Europe
*Brautrausch [braʊtraʊʃ]
German word, made-up from the words 'Braut' (=bride) and 'Rausch' (= a state of ecstasy), referring to brides' often ecstatic mood on the wedding day, but does apply to partners of all genders, as well as to friends, family and anyone afiliated with the wedding.


I’m Dirk – also known as “Mr. Brautrausch” – your go-to guy for wedding photos that are anything but ordinary.
Whatever you’ve got planned, I’m in. With a camera in hand and an eye for the extraordinary, I’ll capture everything that makes your wedding uniquely yours: the big emotions, the quiet moments, the wild parties, and all the little details only you would notice.
Getting married in a castle, a forest, on a cliff, or maybe just in your backyard? With 200 guests or just the two of you? Doesn’t matter! Your wedding, your rules – my job is to capture the magic that surrounds you.
So, if you’re after wedding photos that truly feel like you, I’m your guy. Let’s make it happen – I can’t wait to hear from you!

"Wir haben eigentlich nur einen guten Hochzeitsfotografen gesucht [...] gefunden haben wir einen neuen, sehr sympathischen Freund, der unsere Hochzeitsfeier enorm bereichert hat."
"Wir haben uns unglaublich gefreut und Tränen gelacht bei so manchen Momenten die man in dem Trubel wieder vergisst."
"You made everyone feel really comfortable and our family and friends loved hanging out with you!"
"Einmalige Erinnerungen an ein unvergessliches Ereignis. Dein Talent gepaart mit Deinem großartigen und angenehmen Naturell hat dich zum Freund der Familie gemacht! "
"Wir lieben die Fotos unserer Hochzeit!"
"Tolle, emotionale und unfassbar schöne Bilder. Voller Leben, Liebe, Licht und Lachen!"
"Du hast es geschafft, einen sehr, sehr besonderen Moment wunderbar einzufangen. Du warst dabei präsent aber nicht aufdringlich, flexibel und dennoch konsequent."
"We are so grateful for the fantastic memories you created with your lens. Thank you so so much!"
"Wegen Dir würden wir glatt nochmal heiraten!"
"Your work surpassed our expectations in so many ways. You captured the day like a fairytale."
"Wir waren schon beim ersten Durchschauen wieder mitten in dem Tag, im Glücksrausch und Dauergrinsemodus."
"Du warst kaum merklich immer bei uns und hast die besonderen Momente perfekt eingefangen."
"Und das war die beste Entscheidung. Jeder besondere Moment, jedes Glücksgefühl und jede Freudenträne wurde eingefangen, ohne dass man es überhaupt gemerkt hat."
"Du hast es geschafft, die Stimmung und Gefühle genauso einzufangen, wie wir den Tag empfunden haben."
"Dirk was fantastic! He brought a sense of calm and ease to it all, from the moment he arrived to him driving away after a job well done, we knew we were in great hands."
"Thank you Dirk for being who you are, for capturing our wedding in the most brilliant and personal way we could ever hope for!"
"...mit einer großen Leidenschaft für seinen Beruf, einem Auge für die besten Fotospots, verliebt in schönes Licht, ein Ruhepol zwischen all der Aufregung..."
"Dein Stil ist einzigartig! Deine Anwesenheit auf unserer Hochzeit war mehr als angenehm und Tobi sagt nochmal "Danke" für den Whiskey..."
